Tikuf 663 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Just a quick note for the community about private messages. This is not aimed at anyone nor is it it a shot. I personally get a few message a day asking for support via PM (and I assume other devs are in the same boat) and I really don't mind helping out but when it is done by pm the rest of the community (ex others that may be suffering from the same issue) don't get the benefit of the explanation or the fix. So with that in mind I would like to ask that the threads be the first port of call for anyone seeking support. If you dont want to post your logs publically I totally understand that but please post in the thread giving the dev a heads up that you have sent logs via pm to <insert dev's name here> & please post a link to the log (in the pm) as it will allow us to view the log online rather than download it (makes it easier if we are mobile) paste2.org is the best for this although there is a size limit. Thanks guys appreciate you listening. This doesn't apply to developer questions just general support issues Cheers 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogi 367 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Well said Tikuf, you should pin this for a month or 2 so everyone sees it and it doesn't get lost at the bottom of the forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) I agree, It's important that users understand that we do want to help them. It's just that pm's don't allow for 1) the community to benefit from previous questions 2) community members who know a resolution from providing answers as well.

Cheesegeezer 3093 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Probably make this an announcement and a sticky at the top of each subforum. @@Abobader - could we also include this in the forum rules that new users are supposed to read when joining. Good shout @@Tikuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
